Downtown Chattanooga
Every plate at Ember & Oak starts over white oak coals. Seasonal Southern cooking, a short menu we can stand behind, and a room warm enough to stay late in.
Ember & Oak opened in 2019 with a wood grill, twelve tables, and a stubborn idea: that cooking over live fire forces a kitchen to pay attention. There is no dial to hide behind. The coals are either right or they are not.
We buy from farms within an hour of the restaurant, we butcher in-house, and we keep the menu short enough that everything on it earns its place. Some nights we run out of the ribeye. We consider that a feature.
Come hungry, stay late.
Word of mouth
"The half chicken ruined every other chicken for me. We drive up from Ringgold twice a month just for it."
"Feels like a big-city restaurant without the big-city attitude. The staff remembers your name by the second visit."
"Get the cobbler. Whatever fruit it is that week, just get the cobbler."
